First I want to thanks to RoyGlanfield for : Printing RichEdit A long time ago I was wondering how to print RTF files in the background. I just used to use this solution: ShellExecuteWait($sRTF_FileFullPath, '', '', 'print') Unfortunately, it is slow and is not done, in the background. A few days ago I was looking for a solution through google. I found a solution at home and exactly here. I modified it a little, and behold, here it is: #include-once #AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w- 7 #Tidy_Parameters=/sort_funcs /reel #Region RTF PRINTER Include# #include <GuiRichEdit.au3> #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #include <StaticConstants.au3> #include <SendMessage.au3> #include <Array.au3> #EndRegion RTF PRINTER Include# #Region RTF PRINTER HEADER# ; #INDEX# ======================================================================================================================= ; Title .........: UDF for Printing RTF files ; AutoIt Version : 3.3.10.2++ ; Language ......: English ; Description ...: UDF for Printing RTF files ; Author(s) .....: mLipok, RoyGlanfield ; Modified ......: ; =============================================================================================================================== #cs Title: UDF for Printing RTF files Filename: RTF_Printer.au3 Description: UDF for Printing RTF files Author: RoyGlanfield, mLipok Modified: Last Update: 2014/06/15 Requirements: AutoIt 3.3.10.2 or higher http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/127580-printing-richedit/ http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/161831-rtf-printer-printing-richedit/ Update History: =================================================== 2014/06/04 v0.1 First official version 2014/06/04 v0.2 * Global Variable renaming by adding $__ * extended $__API_RTF_Printer * new function: _RTF_SetMargins($vMarginLeft = 1, $vMarginTop = 1, $vMarginRight = 1, $vMarginBottom = 1) * new function: _RTF_SetNumberOfCopies($iNumberOfCopies = 1) * added #Region RTF PRINTER initialization# * CleanUp * added #forceref * added #AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w- 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w- 7 2014/06/12 v0.3 * Global Variable Renaming add 'RTF' to variable names and added $__ to be sure that no one else used the name * Global Variable renaming $aPageInfo to $__aRTFPageInfo to be sure that no one else used the name * variable renaming $hInput* to $iCtrlInput* * in _RTF_PrintFile() new parameter $fAddIndex * Setting RTF_Printer Window Title * fix problem with printing more than 16 RTF files >> GUIDelete($__API_RTF_Printer[$__hRTF_Gui]) * new internal function __RTF_AddLeadingZeros * added some more comments * brand new RTF_Printer_Examples.au3 2014/06/15 v0.4 * $sRTF_FileFullPath_or_Stream - A string value.

Hello I am trying to get chrome to save it's current webpage to a pdf using autoit. I wold like to save the file into a folder on the desktop called "ChromeFiles" . However when I use the send command chrome only occasionally responds. Thank you Simon

When I click on print button (Javascript Button) in webpage using _IEAction($btnprint,"click") then display print dialog, like this one: i want to Automate this print dialog box and print file using default printer. (not using controlclick). its possible to print without showing print dialog box?

hallo autoit community i ask how to create bill temple and insert data to it then print it thanks

Hi guys Looking to automate...I have PDF files...Need to convert them all to 2 pages each but more specifically, retain only the first and last. Searched a lot and hitting the wall....Any ideas? Just directions would do... Not sure how to "print to file" and I believe |ShellExecuteWait($sFilePath, " /h /p", "", "print", @SW_HIDE)| doesn't give options of what pages...

I have a project to print a prn printfile to a barcode printer. File is both binary (fonts and pictures) and text mixed in a format understandable for the printer. I need some advice about the methode to deal and use windows printer spooler. The printers could be connected in network or localy by USB, so easiest is to make that connection by windows. I have not found any easy way to print in the site, just how to setup a new printer or change parameters. I thought printing was the easy part. My program should be used by windows vista, 7, 8 and 10 and sometime in POS environment. Right now I print by FTP to CAB printers, but its not always accepted in some networks or by firewalls. I need to change it, and also be open to use other printers. The option I have seen is windows LPR command, but I dont know if its usable in all windows versions or if it behave different. I tested it from cmd.exe, but have not succeded for the printers I normaly use. Copy to LPT or COM is also an alternative. DIsadvantage is I need to change in driver to connect LPT/COM to the printer and not userfriendly to install. I want a solid solution, not complicated for the user and easy to understand and maintain. Just a procedure in Auto-IT like 'Print ("Printer name", "File")' to put it in the que, and leave the printer maintain to windows. Any ideas or considirations? Where to begin? (soory for the speling, not my naitive language)

Hello everyone, here is my little contribution to AutoIt community. I was looking for a way to print tables from my scripts. None of the solutions was exactly working for me as there were always some limitations. If you need to be able to print table, while making sure that header is printed on each page (if large table), rows won't split up(across several pages) and you want to be able to adjust table size on page or each column size, you in the right place. Also you can choose between landscape and portrait mode It uses a browser to print table out. Simply, it generates a html file which is then open within browser and it initialize print. This version is tested with Chrome browser... Please be aware that there is a bug. When you try to disable row numbers, it will also remove table borders(lines). If anybody can figure out why, it would be appreciated by me and I am sure by others as well. Enjoy Jan UPDATE: found today that geniuses from Google stopped following standards and it no longer prints correctly with Chrome. It also ignores the portrait/landscape settings. However, I tested it with latest IE on Win 7 and it works fine!!! so I suggest you use IE to print... In case you don't have IE as main browser and you do have issues with your current browser then replace shellexecute and winwaitactive at the end of function with: local $hIE=run('"C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" "' & $sFile & '"') ProcessWait($hIE) ;

How a lot of string formatted output to a printer? E.g: 1) The first line of Arial font and size 20 and Bold 2) The second line to the fourth line of Tahoma font and size 14 3) Insert two blank lines every 5 row 4) Every 64 rows to add a page break (chr(12) ) and add headers and footers 5) Finally, the formatted string output to a printer(Dot matrix printer) How to do that?The printer supports ESC / P, ESC / P2, ESC / PK, ESC / PK2, Epson Standard Code for Printer. Thank you very much!!!

I have seen many different threads about generating barcodes, displaying them, and printing them. However at this point I am completely torn with which method to use. I am making a software that lets the user scan items, enter in information and save it in a SQLite database. For my purposes, I want to be able to display the barcode with number underneath in a similar way to most other controls eg GuiCtrlCreateBarcode( barcodenumber, x, y, width, height ). I also want to be able to print the barcode and have it be readable by the same scanner - The most successful encoding I've found is code128. Here is what I have found so far: This thread has nice code that saves the output as imagesPrinting is easy and scans properlyDisplaying the image on a pic control makes it easy to set it's x/y/width/height But..The code does not let you directly specify the width / height, so displayed image on GUI is ALWAYS skewed.Getting output images the right size with that code is very difficultI cannot find any examples of drawing barcodes to an image that let you specify width / heightThis example Several threads use Static controlsLook very nice on GUI, easy to get explicit position and size But...I know of no way to turn a bunch of static controls into something printableI didn't find any examples that had numbers at the bottom of the barcodeThe third solution I found was using a barcode fontCan look nice, depending on fontShouldn't be hard to print But..Depends on additional font being installedSome fonts don't scan correctlyHow do you specify a width / height of an area you want the barcode to fill when using a font?I'm really at a loss as to how to move forward. Maybe there's an example I missed that is better suited to what I could find? PErhaps someone has experience writing barcode scanning / generating / printing software and can share the experiences. Can someone bounce a few ideas back and forth with me on the best way to proceed?

I am just starting to use this UDF and I'm not sure if it's my sheer ignorance with this UDF or something that's missing, but I'm getting an error with _PrintSetPrinter(), which will not even bring up the dialog box to select the printer. Here's my code (tested): #include <printMGv2.au3> #include <GUIConstants.au3> Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1) Local $hwnd, $hButton, $msg, $hp, $mmssgg $hwnd = GUICreate("Example") $hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("click me to print", 20, 20) GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "Quit") GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_PRIMARYDOWN, "Print") GUISetState() $hp = _PrintDLLStart($mmssgg) ; open the print dll While 1 WEnd Func Print() Local $selected If $hp = 0 Then ; if we couldn't open the dll MsgBox(0, "", "Error from dllstart = " & $mmssgg & @CRLF) ; tell us Return ; get out EndIf $selected = _PrintSetPrinter($hp) ; set the printer MsgBox(0, "", $selected) _PrintDLLClose($hp) ; close the dll EndFunc ;==>Print Func Quit() Exit EndFunc ;==>Quit

Friends, A script I am working on calls a commandline utility called lpr.exe. It allows sending files to a printer with an IP address. My script needs to work on both 32 and 64 bit systems. on my 64 bit system, the only LPR.exe is a 64 bit app, and if I use a command such as RunWait(@ComSpec & " /K lpr.exe -S " & $IPAddress & " -P strict " & $FileName, @ScriptDir) I get an error in the command window telling me there is no lpr.exe command. If I compile my script in 64 bits, it works fine. But then of course that script wouldn't work on a 32 bit system. I could use kludges, such as installing a "lpr32.exe" copied from a 32 bit system on a 64 bit system, and compile the script in 32 bits, or I could even have a 64 and a 32 bit version of the same script. But then, many of my users have no idea if their system is a 32 or 64 bit one, and I'm trying to keep things simple. Is there a way to use RunWait or something similar in such a way that a 64 bit cmd.exe would be called from a 32-bit compiled script? I kind of doubt that, but someone out there might dream up a way... Thanks

Hi all, I'm in the middle of writing a print queue monitor. I would like to be able to run this on our print server to be able to track who's printing large amounts and reduce the effect on the environment. I've done a fair chunck of it, but I'm finding that it's causing a bit of a load on the CPU. On average the 'spoolsv.exe' process sits at about 15-20% constantly when nothing is happening. I'm wondering if there is a way I can reduce this. I'm using the following code to access the print queue. ; Connect to Print Queue $objWMIService = ObjGet("winmgmts:\\" & @ComputerName & "\root\CIMV2") While 1 $AllPrintJobs = $objWMIService.ExecQuery ("SELECT * FROM Win32_PrintJob") ; Run through Print Jobs For $PrintJob In $AllPrintJobs ; Process any new jobs here Next Sleep (50) WEnd I've found that I have to catch the job several times in the queue. If I don't I can miss the total number of pages as the jobs spools. Is there another way of me getting the same information? Does the information go to another location after the print queue?
